the fist thing that you are going to need to do is to open the Proxmox web interface and click on shell in side of shell enter the command

wget https://atxfiles.netgate.com/mirror/downloads/pfSense-CE-2.6.0-RELEASE-amd64.iso.gz

This with download pfSense 2.6 to the root of your Proxmox system

Then we are going to run sha256sum to verify the download to the sum on the pfsenes web page

sha256sum pfSense-CE-2.6.0-RELEASE-amd64.iso.gz

now you can decompress the PFSense iso by running

gunzip pfSense-CE-2.6.0-RELEASE-amd64.iso.gz
